Hali is the guy I'm most intrigued by.
I think Elvis is gonna end up being a 3-4 OLB ala Merriman... |

there are quite few smallish DE's in the NFL now.
OT's are getting so big that defenses use small guys to out quick them.

The concern I have about Kiwi after watching him more this season is whether or not he's gonna have that leverage. He's about 260, just like Tamba Hali, but he's FIVE inches taller. Dumervil is only about 245, which really puts him at the bottom end of that range. |

"that dynamic Louisville DE Elvis Dumervil, the nation’s #1 sacker last fall, was under 6 feet at 5-11; Dumervil, though, did weigh in at 258."
Lots of players coming in shorter and lighter than expected.

The mock draft at gbnreport has us taking Charles Gordon in the first... that's the very first mock that I've seen him close to the 1st round.

I don't know if 5-11 will cut it as a DE. Teams like tall guys, regardless of the leverage issue, because they usually will have longer arms and keep off the linemen easier. It'll be interesting to see how the other guys weigh, etc.

Tamba Hali is the guy I really want, I think he's more versatile. Of course, I was big on Haynes when he came out of Penn State and he's struggled to establish himself as an every-down player. |

Hell robert mathis is lighter then most outside linebackers and still played DE and nearly led the league in sacks. It's becoming a league of specialists and at that there's a place for these small guys who can get after the quarterback. Why not when you can get those guys for 600 K per year and get just as effective of a pass rush on 3rd down as the 5 million dollar per year every down stud DE like Peppers.
This league is becoming more and more specialized.....all these packages and crap. I see it getting that way more and more as teams try to stretch money as far as possible. I don't think it will be all that much longer before you even have separate 1st and 3rd down packages for offensive lineman. Run blocking lineman on early downs pass blocking lineman on later downs.
